The diplomat said that Kyiv and Washington have “serious developments” on the interaction for the launch, reports TASS referring to the Ukrainian “the Fifth channel”.

According to the Ambassador, Ukrainian authorities could not hold a joint meeting with the Americans on cooperation in the space sector for the last eight years, however, the meeting was held two weeks ago.

It is worth noting that before the change of government the main partner of Ukraine in the space sphere was Russia, but the cooperation was in fact suspended in 2014.
